Washington is a city full of interest to
the people at all times, and it is particu-
larlv 50 during u session of Congress.
There is no city in the world SO well paved,
well built or adorned with so many
statues and objects VI art. The superb
Capitol stands matchless as tine cOnSGulma-
ton of the architects genius and skill; the
Washington Monument cleaveS the air at a
height farther from the earth than any
other structure ever reared; the SmithSon-
ian Institution holds within its walls the
greatest collection of objects of general and
historic interest ever gathered together;
the CorcOran Art Gallery, a palatial build
ing filled with works from the brush and
chiSel OF famous masters; these are bpt few
of the attractions WHICH invite the visitor.
The long limit of the excursion tickets
permits \ visit to Mt. Vernon, the home
and tomb of Washington; Arlington, the
splendid seat OF Gen. y. T.. Lee; the Ma
tiunal soldiers Home, and many other
places OF interest i'll the immediate vicinity
of Washington.
This is a rare opportunity to visit the
Capital City at a pleasant season and at
small expense.

THE MINGo
Secretary weihe Talks About the Dificulty
Up There.


The Pittsburgh Dispatch Of yesterday
had the following interview with Secretary |
Weihe, who has returned from his confer
euce with the K. of L. authorities at Phil
adelphia, relative to the Junction steel
plant trouble:
ssTbe men belong to the Knights of
Labor" said he, "but wanted TO get into
our association. We did not organize
them or interfere in any way with the
knights until a committee came to the
office and insisted on being organized.
went down and formed q lodge OF the
A~malpamated Association, but told them
they would have to work under their
scale for the balance Of the year, but would
have TO observe the rules OF our Associa-
ton. Last week a crane broke and the
men worked on, but were entitled 10 lVo
TONS according to u rules. The nrm
refused and the men struck. About seven
men were discharged. When was
called to settle the trouble l demanded the
reinstatement of the discharged men, but
was refused. Master Workman BAILEY
held a conference with the firm II they
agreed to reinstate the men and start the
mill if the Knights of Labor would control
the operations. The men insisted ON be-
ing governed by the AmalgLmated Assocl-
alton, and | understand that MIR. BAILEY
said he would bring men from other places
to operate the mill. The firm seem anxious
TO be governed by the Knights OF Labor,
as the scale is lower. In the converting
and blooming mill the scale is 81 63 per
100 tons less than the Amalgamated scale,
and fewer men are employed. | have re-
ceiyed no information OF the condition OF
affairs to-day, but believe that matters
will be satisfactorily arranged
A Steubenville telegram on the same
subject says: The visiting officers OF the
A~malgamated Association and the knlghts
of Labor, who are here in the Mingo
trouble. still remain, and this morning
they were reinforced by the arrival OF
4. II. Denny. General Organizer OF the
Knights Of Labor, and Dennis OLeary,
one of the Wee Presidents OF the Amalga-
mated Association. These gentlemen.
with those already here, hold frequent
considerations with officers Of the Juuctiou
Iron Company, but nothing further tow-
ard settling the existing difficulties mas
been accomplished. Both Mr.. Railey, OF
the knights, and Mr.. oLeary, OF the
Amalgamated, say they are no nearsr an
agreement than at this time Yesterday,
and the outcome is difficult 10 guess at
On Mr.. Weihe's return from Philadelphia,
whittier he has gone to lay the matter be
fore the Executive Board of the Knights
of Labor, there may be some new develop
ments. One thing is certain, the existing
state of affairs is stirring mp had blood in
both labor organizations.

Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1887-04-07

The discord that has recently
been such great matter of
complaint among certain classes of
citizens was caused by the national
council not giving them the recog-
milton due them under existing
laws and treaty. Whether it was
lack of intelligence or miscon-
struction of treaty is a question for
the interested parties to decide for
themselves. But the fact of a
guarantee being incorporated into
the platform Of the Downing party,
allowing them all the rights i'm
piled in law, compact agreements
and treaty is sufficient, in our
opinion, that in justice to them
selves alone, they cannot consist
emily afford to ieopardize their in
terests by supporting party whose
platform sets forth no principles of
equity or justice. eve speak now
with reference to the platform the
Nationals had four years ago. 1t
also opposes the sale of our lands,
for settlement, to any but Indians.
Some time since there was feel
ing among some of our citizens
that if the Cherokee nation could
get eighteen or twenty millions for
the lands west of ninety-six de-
grees we should sell them. No
right-minded man will think for
moment of disposing of any
more of our lands. The Cherokee
nation needs all the lands it has,
and time alone will conclusively
show that posterity will fully en-
joy it. 1t looks upon railroads in
our country without our consent as
an infringement upon our rights
and a violation of treaty stipula-
tions. By a careful perusal of this
platform 1t is plainly to be seen
that by rigid and strict adher-
ence to its principles, our ma
tioncannot help becoming pros
porous, to a greater degree than it
has already attained.

THE DOWNING PLATFORM.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN The plat
form of the Downing party is an
instrument that will meet the ap.
proval and sanction of every citi-
zen Of this nation who wishes to
see harmony restored among our
citizens and the faithful fulfillment
of the stipulations of treary. It's
spirit and life breathes into the
politics OF our country an inaugur-
alton of new ideas, new methods OF
solving national questions that in
vites the careful attention and con-
sideration of the whole Cherokee
! people. The first and great object
as set forth, to maintain our present
form Of government as an Indian
government, is the only protection
fol our race. Any one who has
kept himself fsuiiiciently posted on
the treatment the different In
dian tribes have received from the
government within the last twenty
five years in her efforts TO civilize
them so TO speak, can readily and
easily realize the truthfulness Of
the above assertion. Instead of
a blessed civilization for the In
dian, it has proven his cursed ex-
termination. 1t also fayors prog
ress and our resources applied TO
the best advantage for the benefit
of the people, that industry and
enterprise may be encouraged ami
labor rewarded. These are the
foundation stones for the success of
any government. Without the en-
couragement of enterprise and in
dustry, no nation can expect TO
amount to anything. 1t is by a
careful fostering of the ideas of
these principles that makes nations
proud Of their wealth. II also
proposes to use its best endeayors
TO give every child in the nation
an education. Upon this the fu-
tnre society Of our country much
depends. Where education and
intelligence are, crime is less, citi-
zens are better and tho natural
tendency ofthe people upright. It
recognizes the fact that harmony
among our citizens is conductive to
to our best interest. Itguarantees
to all classes Of citizens all the
rights under the law, constitution
and treaty. Our government and
her institutions must be preserved
by united effort Of the people.
It's great endeayor will be 10 make
is citizens feel that this IS their
home, and that their life, liberty

NATIONAL AND THE INDEPuN
DENT PARTY,

Ed. CHIEFTAIN National, " in
your issue of March 31st, seems to
take it pretty hard. Yes, "Na-
tional," / am the "picture man."
and l am proud TO own good old
Missouri as my former home and
| am very willing you should get
in your 'little" work of "Puke. "
| advise National" TO go there
a while and "Puke" and get rid OF
the vile political rubbish which his
poor stomach is overloaded with
and by and by, perhaps, you could
join the Independent party; then
you would know for a fact that
there was a bonafide party and that
there was really an executive com
mittee.
National" says, "The president
of the executive committee should
know, if he does not, that this
country has been preserved by the
valor and patriotism whom he af-
fects to despise." l did not "af-
feet TO despise Mr.. Bunch nor his
followers-no, not even Nation
al" / simply differ in opinion as
to who, in my judgment, was most
qualified to be our chief. Ibelieve
Mr.. Bunch a gentleman, an up
right, honest man and one of the
shining lights of the national party,
but l am sorry cant say as much
Of "National," F" after reading his
silly article. The fact is felt, at
ter reading his article, that an at
tempt had been made TO curry me
down and that had been deliber-
ately kicked at by the braying
donkey OF the National party.
While 1 agree with you that this
nation has been wisely managed up
to this time--and in all probability
will continue to be--yet l do not
believe that National" has or will
be in any way responsible for this
wise course nor can see why he
SO bitterly objects to the adopted
citizen helping 10 continue this
wise course. The only theory l
can suggests his narrow-mindness
and unliberal policy displayed in
attacking myself and the Indepen- |
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1887-04-07
WHAT DOES IT MEAN 2

EDITOR CHIEFTAIS:-The jew
iSh antiquities, as written by
Josephus, and the first books of
the bible, as written by Moses,
suggest some unusual inquiries in
the mind of the reader. In the
book of Exodus we read that as
Moses was tending the focks of his
father-in-law ,Jethio, in Mount Ho-
reb he saw burning bush and turn
ed aside to "see this great sight, F"
why the bush was not consumed.
When he had turned aside, "God
called unto him out of the midst of
the bush" That part Of the bible
which Moses wrote, says that he
was learned in all the lore of the
Egyptians. What that lore consist
ed of may be the history of the
creation and of many things not
connected with the exodus of the
Jews, their laws and wanderings.
Josephus, in his Jewish antiquities
speaks of a wonderful plant which
he calls the Baaras plant, and
which he says was present death
to any one who touched it. 1t
was only harmless when taken up
by the roots. The usual way of
doing this was to dig all around it
until by a small root it was attach
ed to the ground, when it was east
ly pulled loose by tying a dog by
his tail to it and giving him a big
scare. The last serious effect that
bush had was the sudden demise
of the dog. Josephus further says
Of the bush that Solomon used it
in driving evil spirits out of the peo-
pie, or demons as he called them.
The root was the color of flame,
and at evening the bush emitted
rays of light like lightning. From
the midst of the flames of the burn
ing bush God told HIS name to
Moses. l AM, as He then gave it,
is Jehovah, the person being
changed so as to mean, He Is.
There is what may be termed a CO.
incidence with the burning bush.
The true name of the Cherokees
is "Tsi-lu-kee" which in English
means fire consumers or being
consumed by fire. The name is
written on their persons invisible
to any but the initiate.
